Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin

[Wor-Gar]

Sorry to hear that, Coco. I did see secretcompass on ebay selling a bunch of stuff (I was seeking Leia).


Has anyone got a photo of their 'raised' Tarkin next to Vader for a height compare?

 

[Creighton]

Well guys, I answered my own question.

The Sideshow Gods smiled on me with a 50 dollar coupon in the mail. Of course I just ordered Tarkin!!!!

Been doing a bunch of poses, I find this pose gives the most presence

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

I went for the classic Tarkin pose.

 

[SilverStar17]

Nice!

It’s a good pose for sure, but I don’t know if I’d consider it a “classic” Tarkin pose, being that I believe the only time he did it was right before the DS exploded.

Edit: Nevermind, he also did it when he suggested Leia might respond better to an alternative form of persuasion.

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Well, the “often used by collectors” pose then?

Edit: Twice makes it classic!

 

[Wor-Gar]

The cartoons made it classic I think, for the younger fans.

To me, its always been hands behind his back. Even if he only does it once too.

 

[SwitchStance]

I can't stop thinking he's trying to get a sniff of his finger. Sorry if I ruined it for you

Yeah and the pointing finger always makes me think “pull my finger!”

Are you talking about his pose, or the pose that yours is in where he actually does have a finger extended, looking like he’s ready to bring it up to sniff it?

His pose

Debating if I should put a tiny bit of green goo on the end of his finger on my pose

Still waiting for Tarkin to arrive in stock at my distributor. I'll most likely display him with hands behind the back, I don't like seeing the wrist pegs there.

I'm also not too fond of the big and tall Imperial Code Cylinders, sticking out of the pockets too much. The original Stephens radiation dosimeters are not that big

 

[Wor-Gar]

I do wish they'd 'clip' to the pocket like the one made for Jyn Erso that sticks to the pocket well. The design is flawed on the Tarkin ones -- its angled straight.

The SS inventory level for this guy changed from Low Stock warning to Act Now Almost Sold Out, so I decided to use my $50 coupon on this guy.

Good call.

This could be the sleeper hit figure of 2018 that disappears and then demands outrageous prices on the secondary market.

Old man with chair and big hands = $$$

I figured even if I decide to flip him down the road I can get my money back since Star Wars and likely small edition. The writing is on the wall that the stand alone Tarkin is starting to dry up.

 

[Wor-Gar]

If anyone needs replacement parts, the time is now.

Thanks, ordered.

I can't believe he is almost sold out already! I guess SSC can add my P.O. back into inventory since I was able to get him at my local shop. I was able to use store credit to get him
